+The [`mozilla-master`][branch-mozilla-master] branch holds the `master` branch
+as left by Mozilla.
+The [`send-v3`][branch-send-v3] branch holds the commit tree of Mozilla's last
+public version, which this fork is based on.
+The [`send-v4`][branch-send-v4] branch holds the commit tree of Mozilla's last
+experimental version which was still a work in progress (featuring file
+reporting, download tokens, trust warnings and FxA changes), this has
+selectively been merged into this fork.
+
+Thanks [Mozilla][mozilla] for building this amazing tool!
